When Keishorea Armstrong saw the size of the trophy that goes to winners of events at the Eddy Meet in Schenectady, the Emma Willard track and field standout wanted one of her own.

Armstrong earned her first-place trophy in the 100 meters at the Eddy Meet, and it was the first of many honors during the season for the senior who plans on majoring in business at Binghamton University in the fall.

"Last year, I watched my amazing teammate Molly Shapiro on the podium and saw this huge trophy that she'd won," Armstrong said. "I'd been looking toward being able to get a first-place finish at the Eddy Meet."

Following her performance at the Eddy Meet — her winning time of 12.28 seconds was the best in Section II this season — Armstrong went on to score all 38 of her team's points at sectionals with wins in the 200, long jump and triple jump as well as a second-place finish in the high jump.

Armstrong dominated the state qualifier meet with individual wins in the 200, the high jump and long jump, and she was part of Emma Willard's victorious 400-relay team.
